Life Of Brian

[Atheist]

I've just been re-watching this film, and wondered if anyone there agrees that it is one of the funniest films ever made.

//Are you serious, Rockrose? (This is a serious question)//
YEP, think she's serious. Some people just don't know how to have a laugh...

[JimF]

Funnier than Life of Brian, you ask? Well, off the top of my head:

Way Out West (Laurel and Hardy)
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
This is Spinal Tap
Duck Soup (The Marx Brothers)

[Atheist]

Rock. What do you find funny? (and are you offended by the religious element of L of B, or just lack of humour?)

[Jackdaw33]

There is a rude line in the opening song.

[Atheist]

Rock, I meant lack of the film's humour, not your soh!

[murraymints]

he's a very naughty boy !

[Jackdaw33]

I would add Blazing Saddles and Some Like It Hot.

[andy-hughes]

It's amusing, but it's not the funniest film I have ever seen - the second Inbetweeners film made me laugh far more.

[nailit]

Does nobody find Silence of the Lambs funny then?
I thought it was hilarious ;-)

[tonyav]

Nah, Blazing Saddles is funnier.

[Rockrose]

Carry on Ryzen and Nailit I’m sure it makes you feel better about yourselves!
I do not find Monty Python funny at all.

[EDDIE51]

Yes it is.

[nailit]

So Silence of the Lambs wasn't a comedy then?
Wondered why I was the only one laughing in the cinema!!!

[New Judge]

A decent film but, like MPFC itself, I think it has become over eulogised with time. I was an avid MP fan but looking back only about 10% to 20% was really funny. The rest was mildly amusing.

So it is with Brian. It has its moments but that's as good as it gets.

[mushroom25]

there's a very transgender-ish section in it - would it be permitted to show it on tv now?

[Ellipsis]

As Good As It Gets is one of the best rom coms ever made ...

[pastafreak]

Another vote here for Blazing Saddles...and another Mel Brooks film, The Producers. Haven't seen them in ages, so I don't know if I'd still find either funny.

[Tilly2]

I liked Bud Abbot and Lou Costello. Thy did make me laugh.

[Tilly2]

^they^

I loved the Producers Pasta but the original not the remake, Springtime for Hilter gets me everytime.
I much prefer stand up though.
